Leading pro audio manufacturer RØDE Microphones has released its first Audio Interface – the AI1.

The AI1 USB Audio Interface adds studio-quality input and output capabilities to your computer making home recording easier than it’s ever been. With its high quality Neutrik combo jack input and discrete Class-A preamp you’ll be able to connect it to a microphone, guitar or even a line level instrument such as a synthesizer.

Available as part of The Complete Studio Kit, the AI1 comes with RØDE’s peerless NT1 large diaphragm condenser microphone, SMR shock mount with pop-shield, 6M XLR cable and a USB C/A cable – home recording is as easy as opening the box.

Damien Wilson, CEO of RØDE Microphones added: “The AI1 is the best quality-for-price single-channel interface available, bar none. It’s also incredibly easy to use thanks to thoughtful design and Australian Made quality – it is the perfect companion to any of our Microphones.”

The AI1 allows zero-latency playback by enabling the direct monitoring feature as well as playback via headphones/speakers with the high quality discrete headphone amplifier. To ensure the AI-1 is truly versatile it features 48V Phantom Power and is class compliant – so no need to install any drivers. Ableton Live Lite is redeemable at www.rode.com/ableton.

As for inputs: the AI-1’s got both kinds
